WIP

These panels are mostly out of order, BUT enjoy inks for the rehashed GODCLEAVER intro! I'm still deciding on a texture for the planet panel, but I'll figure something out! I AM pumped about that ocean shot ...

Rex: Listen Shulk, I have a very simple policy. I only marry as many spouses as I can bench press.

Shulk: Another one of your Salvager Codes?

Rex: No, just common wisdom.

[rxmembered]

Genuinely, Shulk is chaos incarnate so sorry in advance.

Godcleaver Shulk

[isleepatfiveam]

So I'm currently having Xenoblade vision and I wanna talk about a thing I noticed in Future Redeemed.

So when facing off against Shulk during The Oroboros Power, he's called Godcleaver.

Here's where it gets fun; so A Cleaver is a type of knife but referring to it as a means to Cleave, it's really interesting. Cleave means to split or severe. Basically calling Shulk, God Splitter. Which is a reference to the fact Shulk killed Zanza, a god.

But Cleave has a second meaning, stick or adhere. Which tells us that Shulk became a god after killing Zanza.

That's a really cool detail.

(Don't ask me about why Rex is called Southheart, I don't got any ideas.)

I Am Not Done: A Tylvinian Historical Tale

Aurelio Verenox, a hybrid of Griffin and Draconic blood, stood at the center of a great battle. The mages long dead, his forces held no power to destroy at range. The healers captured, his forces held no power to bolster or rejuvenate his kinsmen. His warriors slaughtered, he had no kinsmen to heal, even if he'd had any healers left.

He stared down the hillside at a force of thousands, each bearing armor, shield, and sword. Mages far behind them, great swathes of flame and lightning searing through their ranks as they gathered energy for their spells. Healers casting great domes of empowering energy to bolden the hearts of their allies.

Aurelio frowned. They could only take his kingdom if they took him. They knew this. They could only kill him if they could take his life. They knew it would not be easy.

A wyvern dressed in the garb of a royal herald of the Draenos Clan, six feet in height and proud of posture, came alone up the hillside. He stopped a mere eight feet from Aurelio and spoke softly and calmly, far more gentle than his appearance would suggest.

"Aurelio Verenox, the Godcleaver, Kingslayer, Shadowcarver, Lightborne, third of your name and first of your kind. We mean to take your kingdom and your throne, but we have no desire to claim your life. Our king has declared you Erolan, the title for those of the highest wartime achievement. As such, you are due the respect and honor given to such a title."

Aurelio scoffed, the titles granted by an inferior king were little more than words to him. "And where is your king who bestows these titles? Hiding away in his castle, sending the likes of his son to command their armies, and delegating the task of diplomacy to his subordinates. A true king fights for his kinsmen, speaks for himself."

The ambassador lowered his gaze. Aurelio was used to this, it was a sign of respect or subordination for his people, but on the face of this wyvern it seemed more like disappointment than any type of respect.

"Our king is cowardly, yes. But he commands a courageous army, great in skill and greater in number. Please, honorable Lord Aurelio, should you surrender peacefully you will not be harmed. You would be our greatest general, advisor to the king in all wartime matters, and a warrior on the front lines."

Aurelio growled. "So that I may die for an unworthy king? No! You'll not take my kingdom, you'll not take my life. I…"

The Godcleaver felt fire well up in his soul, his golden eyes going wide as he lifted his blade, a great Zweihander, in a single hand as he roared, his voice booming across the hillside.

"I AM KING AURELIO VERENOX THE THIRD, THE GODCLEAVER, THE LIGHTBORNE, AND I AM NOT DONE!"

He swung, blade carving through the ambassador's head and splitting it in half at the mouth. He rushed down the hill as the enemy forces charged. Great blasts of raw magic collided with the ground around him, their mages trying to destroy him from afar.

He paid it no mind. His sword carved through the armor of foe after foe. Shields meant little to him, and armor even less. He was a child of true dragons, of the mighty griffins. He was born with unparalleled strength, and Gaius, who was at the height of his power at the time, had blessed him with equally unmatched endurance.

He felled nearly a dozen men before he took his first blow, an axe colliding with his back. His eyes lit with pain and he roared, doubling his efforts, sword piercing three men as he charged forward. When the weight became too great to push, he pulled back, freeing his sword and continuing his fight.

An arrow in his right arm, several more enemies dead on the field of battle. A slash to his side, a dozen more killed. A stab to his left thigh, ten more men dropped. Aurelio the Godcleaver was a blur, blade a dervish as he ran from enemy to enemy. Hours passed, and Aurelio stood in a circle of hundreds of bodies. Mages, healers, and warriors alike lay upon the ground in bloody pools of viscera and gore. A small group of soldiers remained, along with Prince Fiero Draenos, sixth of his name. The Prince gestured to the remaining warriors, instructing a healer to stay back.

The warriors charged at Aurelio, who was exhausted from battle. He let out a warcry, charging forward and carving his way through the remaining warriors. He was bloodsoaked, and his chest heaved with great effort. The Prince approached with the healer quietly.

Aurelio looked to the Prince, growling quietly. "I am…Aurelio Ver…Verenox… And I…" He staggered forward, his blade aimed at the Prince.

"I am not done…"

He stopped, eyes locked onto the Prince. The healer realized first, his eyes going wide. He stepped towards the Godcleaver, carefully moving in close to him. He closed his eyes, resting a hand to the king's chest, focusing on analyzing the state of the old king's body, the healer immediately voiding his stomach of it's contents.

The Prince rushed forward, holding the healer. "What is it!?" The healer looked to him with wide eyes, his face looking ill and unnerved. "His… His heart, my Prince." The Prince looked to the old king and back to the healer. "What of it?"

The healer looked up to him, fear and shock the only visible emotions in his eyes. "It burst two hours ago…"

The pair looked to the old king in shock, staring for a moment before turning away, returning to their kingdom to tell the king of the events of the battle.

Author's Notes:

This was a little thing I typed up months and months ago, on my phone on the way to Utah to visit my at-the-time boyfriend. I was going to edit it, improve it, but...I think I wanna preserve what it is in the current form.

So enjoy a glimpse into the past of Relan and its magic~

Submitted propaganda for Chosen One

Why the fuck did they name it Chosen One.

Submitted propaganda for Junk Sword

The first weapon Shulk ever wielded. Simple, yes, but it gave him the training needed to wield the monado later in life. Plus, if you swap it out for the monado in the events theater, it leads to some very amusing results

[appleimps]

You will read Godcleaver. NOW.
